- aeyes 5y agoYou could use Cloudflare R2 if you already are on Cloudflare.
- samhw 5y agoR2 doesn't exist yet: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/r2-storage/ https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/r2-storage/ (And, more importantly, it's not very clear when it will exist.)
- celicaraptor 5y agoYou can use Backblaze B2 with Cloudflare in front in the mean time.
- jgrahamc 5y agoFrom the earnings call yesterday: "We're on track for R2 to progress to open beta in Q2 and then be generally available in the second half of 2022."
- samhw 5y agoOh, nice! Thanks for that tidbit, appreciate it :) Edit: I'm an idiot, you work for Cloudflare, lol - I thought you were just particularly sharp-eyed
- dgb23 5y agoR2 is something I look forward to. I'm just imagining what would happen when would also provide managed Postgres in the same easy to handle and affordable manner as their other services.
- samhw 5y agoFor sure: Cloudflare is increasingly feeling like a better alternative to the 'bare cloud' providers, for most of my projects and I suspect also for the 99% of companies who are just building generic CRUD web/mobile app backends. Customisability is AWS/GCP's strong suit, but as a corollary they don't make it nearly as easy to 'paint within the lines' - which is an odd UX stance to take when, by definition, 99% of your customers fall within the 99%. Personally I would have designed it to be 'simple by default, configurable if you need it', but far be it from me to say what's best.
